Jarabe de Palo is a Latin rock group from Spain led by Pau Donés (1966-2020), singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
Pau Donés, born in Aragon and raised in Barcelona, worked for various groups before being able to take on his current project, Jarabe de Palo. He began at age 15 with his brother Marc, with whom he formed a group known as J.& Co.Band and later another one named Dentaduras Postizas. During this period he completed his musical tracks in Barcelona with a job at an advertising firm.

I tabbed out the chords you need for this song and I placed a chord/lyric guideline at end. Si alguien necesita la version en espanol, pues mandame un email, y te la doy.
This song is played with a capo bar on the second fret, and thus all fingering positions relative to the capo. Have fun, and if you have questions go ahead and email me.
The bridge/chorus repeats, but on the last time through, end with this chord and arpeggio:
Dadd9/6 e|--0-0-----0-----0-----0--------0---| B|--3-3-----------------------3------| G|--2-2--------2-----2-----2---------| D|--0-0------------------------------| A|--x-x------------------------------| E|--2-2*-----------------------------| *note: that 2nd fret F# on the E string is done with the thumb.
End chorus: The end chorus has a key change and it took me a little while to figure out the tabliature. What I have here best simulates the guitar AND the bass/keyboard in the In words, it's not exactly what the guitar plays in the recording; it's a little more , but way if you're playing the song solo it will sound more complete. The capo is still the second fret, and we've switched to the key of A (which of course in the song would be the key of B due to the capo).
AA6A?(C#) e|--0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-----0-0----| B|--5-5-5-5----5-5-5-5-----0-0----| G|--6-6-6-6----6-6-6-6-----6-6----| D|--7-7-7-7----7-7-7-7-----7-7----| A|--0-0-0-0----0-0-0-0-----4-4----| E|--x-x-x-x----7-7-7-7**---x-x----| **note: that 7th fret B on the E string is also done with the thumb. That is, unless have a mutated and unnecessarily large pinky.
When playing the song acoustically, I think it sounds good if you end it on this chord:
